Wrote a catalogue essay for Cian McLoughlin's incredible 'Zero Is An Even Number' at the Molesworth Gallery. McLoughlin's arresting style is always evolving, though aesthetic and conceptual themes connect each stage of practice.

Latest review for @irishtimes.com was on Ella Bertilsson's Slippery Like Mango Juice at the #Horse gallery on Bethesda Place, around the corner from the #HughLane.

Violence simmered below the playful surface, along with ruminations on dislocation, alienation.

A near-to-the-end mesmerising scene turns the road into an ocean swell, inducing seasick nausea; the tarmac is fluid, is water. The drivers aren't on solid ground, they're surfing.

It has nods to both the 1970s and contemporary era, which also put me in mind if Once Upon A Time In Hollywood. It also features one of the most insane Christmas-oriented white supremacist military cults. All of the actors are outstanding.

Instead, a long, explosive prologue is followed by an unspooling confluence of events, taking place over and on top of each other, in a compressed day or two. Dialogue doesn't play much of a role, except to heighten absurdity, paranoia, to evidence hatred.

Saw PTA's new film One Battle After Another yesterday. Definitely enjoyed it, though I'd like to see it again - hard to wrap my head around it. Some intriguing resonances with Aster's satire Eddington. An unusual narrative form: it wasn't a journey, it wasn't episodic...

Fascinating abstract - must check out Jan Patocka! The comparison with Lyotard sounds very fruitful.
